Summary
Snake Pass, the vital but crumbling A57 route between Manchester and Sheffield, is a winter nightmare plagued by landslips, closures, and constant maintenance—costing an estimated $100 million to fix. Despite a one-time $7.6 million government boost, local authorities say they’re stretched thin, pushing for national infrastructure status to secure long-term funding. With responsibility shifting to the East Midlands Combined County Authority in 2028, locals are urging action before it’s too late—because this road isn’t just a scenic drive; it’s the economic lifeline of northern England.
